New to OTR

Sounds like youre not doing bad at all.Hang in there,it'll only get better with time.As long as you're doing good out in the northeast I would just stay with the company.You can also ask you dispatcher if he can find you loads outside of the east coast as well.

 

That's good,judging by your posts I figured you didn't mind it.As long as you're satisfied with the company that's all that matters.Don't let anyone talk you into quitting to go work for another company.

 

So true. I feel so old reading some of the op's post.
A remember when I started getting screwed in one
Big city after another.
You gotta laugh at this stuff,that's all you can do.

 

When you tell a dispatcher that you'll be running out of ours they wont tell you what you need to hear but what you should hear. Everything has a domino affect and all companies have different rules. I say dont always trust what the dispatcher will tell you

 

This is the issue I quickly came to realize now im on my second week.

Driving is the easy part, fun even. It's the parking that will be the ruin of me.

 

Came through flagstaff Little America at 19:00 local time this past Sunday and both lots were already full with 6 trucks circling like vultures. Never seen it that full before dark outside of snow days. Only had 20 minutes and was lucky to find a wide spot at a ramp about 8 miles west.

Never seen so many trucks going east and west on 40 as I did this past weekend. Whoever said freight is slow now is full of it

 

Might be slow at companies with too many drivers.

I had to pay for parking on Monday in MD and can see that becoming a regular occurrence in the future.
